She toured Munich\, Vienna and Ljubljana with the Basel Symphony Orchestra and Markus Poschner. Ioudenitch also performs extensively in the US and Canada\, including appearances with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra\, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the North Carolina Symphony. \nShe gives recitals with pianist Roman Borisov at the Brucknerhaus Linz\, in Staufen and at London’s Wigmore Hall.
